Boutique
We spent five excellent days in Winchester. The hotel could be described as boutique and has a beautiful cowherd we ate and had pre dinner drinks. It was very comfortable and close to the centre of the city but away from the tourist crowds

Excellent staff
The staff at the hotel couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful, particularly Anka. I’d fallen and cracked my ribs and they immediately brought an ice pack and changed my room so I wouldn’t have as many stairs and did everything possible to help me. The hotel is charming with a beautiful garden and a nice restaurant.

Hotel itself is very nice and location great. Staff was helpful but failed to disclose there was a big, loud wedding outside our room that went from 2pm till 11pm which made the experience not the best.

We’ve stayed a few times at this hotel, and actually had our wedding reception here back in 2020.
It’s reliably a good place to stay, with an excellent central location.
There is a reasonable amount of paid parking available at the back of the property. Rooms are clean and large, with nice bathrooms.

The noise
The room was adequate but the noise from the street traffic was too much and constant even when we finally managed to get the secondary glazing to stay closed. New secondary glazing that is sound proof is required.
